The End of Fest Bash took place last night, and a good time was had by all. It was a night of great food and drink at Fiamo where our Volunteers took centre stage so that we could acknowledge their tireless efforts. Guido Martini, Ryan Abbott, Deanna Tahmasebi, Tristin Morton, Mike Miller and Danielle Compton were singled out for special mention. Thank-you!
The fabulous staff at Fiamo kept the food, drink and music rolling as we moved into the awards portion of the evening. Drum roll, please! The winning films at the 2010 Victoria Film Festival are as follows:
Best Feature Film
Defendor
Best Canadian Feature
Shine of Rainbows
Canwest Award for Best Documentary
Last Train Home
Best Short
Armoire, Jamie Travis
Best Short Animation
The Empress, Lyle Pisio
Audience Favourite
The Yes Men Fix the World
Congratulations!
This really was our best Festival ever. The 25 Sold Out shows, 23,000 attending patrons and sky rocketing ticket sales across the board prove that Victoria supports independent film, and arts and culture in general.
Thanks again and don't forget to check back at the website to find out about year round Victoria Film Festival events!
